Don't let your fingernails ruin a good thing.

We all know that our hygiene is very important to our romantic life. Few of us really take a look at our fingernails in this process. We don't think about things like holding hands or gently scratching someones back until it is to late. Those unkept nails can do damage to your date or partner if they have rough edges on them. It might feel like you are cutting them with a knife if left an attended. I know manicures are expensive and for the guys not the most masculine of things to do but they are well worth the money. If your budget is tight then take care of them yourself but make sure to test them on yourself before you use them on someone else. Run you nails down your arm to make sure you have left know snags or jagged edges. We might think this isn't that big of deal but if you get to have any sexual relations then those jagged edges can leave your partner in a very painful state. Our hands usually help initiate our sexual acts and leaving cuts on your partners privates isn't the way to start a great night of love making. Now maybe you are not in a relationship or dating anyone right now, but your nails might be sending the wrong message as people notice the littlest of things when sizing people up for potential mates. Your unkept fingernails might say to someone that this person isn't into keeping up on their appearance so what will the be like once we get into a relationship. Don't let your fingernails harm or ruin a good relationship keep care of them on a regular basis.

How about a bite!

Currently with the vampire craze that Twilight has created, vampires are again high on the romantic chart. Not saying that you should be biting your partner, but if they are fascinated with the vampires then a little nibbling might turn them on. Light biting on the neck or ear lobes have always been a romantic turn on for a lot of people. Maybe even putting on a black cape would create a romantic mood in your bedroom. Get tickets to the new Twilight movie getting ready to come and the give them to your partner in a little coffin box. You can take this vampire fetish to new heights. Maybe a little research on the movie would give you more insight to things that your partner might find romantic about it. Although this vampire fascination might not be your cup of tea, don't let it deter using it to improve the romance in your life.

The Health Benefits of Romance

When romance is a part of your daily life, it has a calming effect that help benefit your overall health, not to mention your relationship. Health and relationships seem to go hand in hand. When things are going well in your relationship it seems to help your overall health. The reasons for this can be different in each and every relationship, but there do seem to be some similarities. For starters you eliminate some of the big stress causers in you life. Being at odds with your partner over relationship concerns can really make you physically ill. Ask someone that is having relationship problems and you will hear things like "My stomach just aches", "I have such a headache" or even "My heart is breaking" When your life is in shambles you health usually follows suit, because you are not at your best to fight off the sickness. Most people without romance in their lives tend not to work out as much or worry about what they are eating. Heck you lucky if they eat at all, when things are at their worst. When the romance fails we tend to take a lesser stance on taking care of ourselves. Keeping your romance strong can reverse all the things we have talked about earlier, because we are doing it for the relationship as well as ourselves. We want to take care of ourselves because we feel good in the relationship we are in and we don't want to lose that. Not that you can control the level of romance in your relationship but you can put your best forward. Usually if you put the work into the relationship you will get the romance out of it.

Join a League!

Relationships are funny things especially at the start. You have to feel your way around to see when and where to take big steps. Things like moving in together or purchasing large items are huge steps as far as relationships go. Maybe you aren't ready for that type of big step yet, what can you do to make a commetment but not dive head first into this realtionship. My suggestion is to join some sort of league. Be it bowling, gold, darts, softball, etc. there are endless possibilities. Now you might wonder why this is reat for you relationship, and the reason is that it shows you are looking at your relationship as a continueing thing. You are showing that you are looking towards the future with this person, without making a hard to reverse step. If things don't work out it is usually not that difficult to get out of one of these leagues. Another great benifit to joining leagues for a couple is you meet other out going couples that you might be able to become friends with. Couples that become friends are a great addition to your relationship as you will have others to enjoy things like cookouts, parties or eveneings out with. The friends you bring into your relationship at the start are either his or hers, but these new friends are "OUR" friends and are not partial to either of you. This can be a big help if you might have troubles down the line. Look through your local paper and the next time you see an advertisement asking for league members ask your partner if they would like to join, it might just be great for your relationship.

Singing in the shower!

Nothing can brighten you morning then cutting loose with a great song in the shower. Not only will this help you get your day off to a good start but it might just help anyone that hears you. Okay so maybe your not the best singer, but hearing you in a good mood and having fun will entice others to do the same thing. Think of the smiles you will put on your partners face as they hear you tyring to sing a song in the shower. It might just make their day. By singing you create a magic wonderful place in the shower and who knows maybe you might just get some company to sing a duet with you. Some great songs for singing in the shower are "Splish Splash", "I love to feel the rain in the summer time", and "Singing in the rain" just to mention a few.

Make your kisses refreshing!

The thing people complain most about with kissing is bad breath. They say it is one of the biggest turn offs when kissing someone, even somebody they have been in a relationship with for a long time. Well it is an easy fix to correct this and with a little practice you won't have to worry about it ever again. There are several things on the market to help you in your quest for kissable breath. Items such as gum, breath mints, mouthwash, and the list goes on and on. Now all you have to do is pick which one of them you prefer and decide which one works the best. Don't forget to pick a flavor your partner enjoys also. Spearmint gum is one of my favorites, with cinnamon a close second. You have a great deal of flavors to choose from and for added effects I suggest picking a different one as many times as you can. Let your partner wonder what kind of kiss they will be getting today, it might just make them kiss you more often. While brushing your teeth is the best defense against bad breath, these other items will help when you can whip out your toothbrush and start cleaning. This can even be more exciting if your going for a little more passionate kissing. Flavors such as cinnamon, and wintergreen can give a little tingle if you happen to use your tongue as well. With all this said make sure to have these items on you all the time because at any given time your lips might be called to duty and you don't what nasty breath to slow things down.
